    Hi all,

    new on here and a relative beginner to Omega collecting. Just thought i'd post my modest collection and thank you all for the supportive welcome. :)

    Ok, please be gentle, I realise this lot may not be up to your standards.

    Thanks Privateday7. I will have to refrain from posting too much about my desires then, otherwise bankruptcy and divorce may loom large in my future. :whistling:

    I'll post my others up soon. Having a bit of a consolidation at present, moving some pieces on.

    Nice collection :)


    Reminds me of my collection when I was starting out. You can still get a lot for your money with these 1960s Seamasters.

    They all say like this..........at the beginning :D .........but then somehow all is gone out of the window and watches start accumulating.
    Oh btw we also offer advice on how to handle wife/significant others resistance, too ........:p.

    I love the 60's Omegas. Particularly the Seamasters. I really think that Omega hit their design peak in this period. Personally i'd like to see a reissue of the Seamaster Deville as a dress watch, although Omega probably want to keep the Seamaster and Deville lines separate now.

    The 1962 Seamaster Deville cal 552 is the dress watch James Bond should wear with a Dinner Jacket! :cool:

    I can see that you will be the death of financial security for me Sir! :D

    I have 15 watches currently and need to be "selective" on future purchases.

    Some great watches -- I particularly like the Seamster 120, I've been looking for one myself but to find one in such good condition as your sis getting difficult.
